## Resource

Connecticut’s 17 communities just landed $10.8 million in state grants to upgrade sidewalks, bike lanes, and pedestrian safety—making towns safer, more walkable, and better places to live and work. This is the eighth round of the DOT’s Community Connectivity Grant Program, which has awarded over $84 million since 2019. Governor Lamont and DOT Commissioner Eucalitto are backing local control, letting towns build exactly what their residents need—whether it’s traffic calming on Gabb Road, downtown upgrades in Deep River, or sidewalk links in Brooklyn and Ivoryton. Projects must be completed within three years, turning vision into action for safer, more connected neighborhoods. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
